Struggling with Self-Doubt and Imposter Syndrome
The speakers discuss their experiences of feeling inadequate and not fitting in. They talk about being bullied and constantly feeling like they were too much for some people and not enough for others. They share personal anecdotes from their childhood, including instances of being made fun of and trying to conform to fit in.
For the first time as a duo, Justin and Jamey sit down for a special episode on tough love —from friendship to envy and hard-to-swallow advice— nothing is off limits. They delve into the heart of masculinity, and personal growth (03:19) as they explore vulnerability as an untapped strength among men, share personal anecdotes of growth and self-awareness, and confront the often overlooked necessity of self-care amidst the call of service to others (06:52).
Justin shares his challenges with self-acceptance (22:58) and his desire for approval. Meanwhile, Jamey is challenged to spend more time in silence and find true joy in the “nothingness” of life. Tune in for a masterclass in the art of friendship, introspection, and emotional courage.

“Friendship is in the nothingness.” - Jamey Heath
“I whisper into the ears of my kids, I tell them there's nothing that they could ever do to make me not love them. That they are enough just as they are.” - Justin Baldoni
“I'm on a constant journey to remember my enoughness. That's why I wrote the book and that's why I said in the book that I have not arrived.” - Justin Baldoni
“You do something really special, which is speak to the human heart. Certainly spoke to mine.” - Jamey Heath
